Content / Description

Dukkha: it comes from our desire. Greed/hatred are rooted in the body; We need to tell others how good we are; Influence: the Lord Buddha advises us to get along with wise/good people and away from bad people; Desire for Liberation or keeping the precepts is not the cause of dukkha; Kilesas: first we train them to be good, then we get rid of them; Praise & Fame: it can badly affect even a relatively good person as long as one is not pure; Images and nimitta; Body loathsomeness.
